About Baeren Brewery


Baeren Brewery is a craft brewery headquartered at its main factory in Kitayama, Morioka, Iwate Prefecture. According to official information, it brews beer using equipment over 100 years old that was relocated from a city in southern Germany, and the beer is still brewed by a master brewer today. The name "Baeren" means "bear" in German, and the brand is known for its respect for traditional beer-making.

What It Means to Hold It in Ofunato


While rooted in Iwate, Baeren has long valued European traditional beer culture. For beer fans in the prefecture, holding an event in Ofunato makes it easier to attend and offers a chance to feel the connection to the region. The fact that ticket sales locations are split among several stores within Kyassen Ofunato also suggests that the event is designed to be supported not only by the venue itself but by the surrounding commercial area as well.

With beer as its core, the event's appeal lies in bringing together local people, shops, and the venue as one. This time, too, attention will be on how Baeren's beer culture can be enjoyed in Ofunato and what unfolds on the day itself.
